Men Reveal Common Myths About Men That Are Stupidly False (r/AskReddit Top Posts | Reddit Stories)

men have read it what myth about men is 100% untrue and infuriates you when you hear it but we can never not be in the mood and if we are we must be sick or cheating I had an ex who pushed for six while I had a tube coming out of my back to drain my kidney and was on opiates that make it nearly impossible for me to finish she got hers though did you heal her or lack of erection meaning we don't there's nothing more demoralizing than that and then you start to worry that it will happen and then you seem to feel it happening so you worry even more and then it actually starts going down now you can't think of anything else and you are willing it to go up and the night is ruined that if we like children but don't have children of our own we're automatically given at the very least a little grilling if not straight-out asked if we're a pedophile I like dogs too for pretty similar reasons nobody ever asks me if I'm a dog Ducker are you a dog Tucker well thank you for asking no I'm not well at least not anymore surprisingly betaine if I'm with my daughter I'm not babysitting I'm being a father I'm sick of this one I'm a stay-at-home dad of two girls it in must be why our DA off no it's my job men can't multitask every time I hear that I have to stop what I am doing so I can get angry Oh Mayo but actually no one's really a good multitasker we'll just think we are Mythbusters tested it I think that we miss signs that women give them because they are stupid we see them but we don't want to be creepy jump to conclusions edit or we are not interested this 1000 X / I used to pick up on signals and not act on them for two reasons one low self-esteem - I was terrified of taking something the wrong way and getting trapped in a situation where the girl would actually not have been flirting there's any number of bad outcomes if a girl does something you think is flirting for one obviously she could call you a creep for coming on too strong since you already thought she liked you for another maybe you just don't want that one last blow Delta yourself confidence it's a tricky situation man who works at daycare are feta files every year there are people who complain I work there meanwhile the women working at they care aren't even watched and get away with casual child abuse I knew one colleague who drinks alcohol on work last time I reported I got a warning about snitch on colleague isn't accepted that is when I went to rather daycare that we cannot parent as well as a woman that we need a random woman to come hold a man's child because they are crying that we are babysitting when our spouse isn't with our babies yeah that stereotype is so damn dumb I mean I changed thousands of diapers and it never bothered me once I was perfectly capable of dressing my kids I know how to open a jar of baby food I wash and hang my kids school uniforms I'm not looking for a bribe but I'm also not looking to be treated like I'm an idiot I'm a nurse and before that I was a nurse's aide working in a nursing home changing adult diapers every day one day I was at a restaurant holding my daughter when I realized that she had a dirty diaper I handed her to my wife so I could extricate myself from the booths when a woman at the next table made that disapproving CCH noise and said typical I stood out took my daughter back along with the Daiya / bag turned to this woman and said please lady I'm a nurse I've changed the diopters of people bigger than you and I went off to the bathroom men think about sex every X amount of seconds I'm a grown man with a life I have more to think about than just sex agreed I also just thought about six that dad's a dopey morons barely capable of caring for themselves let alone their kids my GF of almost nine years made a joke like this in front of her friends after we started living together the first time I let is slide because I wasn't sure what she meant I asked in private and she didn't know she just said it the second time I stopped and said who's the one that goes grocery shopping for healthy meal preps that you end up wasting who does 90% of the cooking when was the last time you cleaned the counter let alone the toilet she's never brought it up since I've met dudes that complain about this but then use it as an excuse to be lazy if I did that we'd be living in filth and I just don't have that in me it's getting better now but back in the day basically every guy on TV was a sports obsessed come out a cycle loving beer swilling [ __ ] who couldn't function without his wife to look after him and her kids my wife went away last week for work and I'll have you know that only half my kids got eaten by wolves you did your best man wolves always hunt in packs so you were probably outnumbered plot twist he only has one kid well half of one now that we're all not interested in or incapable of being involved in the planning of our weddings I cannot tell you how many comments like remember it's a day not yours I received during the two-year lead-up to our wedding I'm not going to lie to you and say I'd been looking forward to getting married since I was 12 or something but I took an active interest together with my wife and the planning of our wedding it's not my day it's us duck that it was our day we planned it together her vision definitely brought it all together and she did a ducking astounding job but she didn't just make decisions on her own we talked together about and work together on every single thing involved in the event and we were both ecstatic with how it turned out it turned out beautifully I try not to toot my own horn very often but I never thought the best party I'd ever go to would end up being my own my own parents who are in an incredible cooperative supportive happy married relationship and are the best parents I could have possibly asked for for the record gave me grief about this sort of thing when I was telling them that if when I get married I want a smaller not exorbitantly expensive wedding they both especially my dad insisted that my hypothetical fancy would be the one calling all the shots , now that I type it out I have to wonder if that's them perpetuating the stereotype or calling me spineless that men find it normal to cheat and brag about it edit holy crap never expected this many up votes never mind silver and gold Thanks kind redditors any man who cheats on someone loses my respect instantly same goes for women and I'm sure my feelings are shared by most guys I don't understand why people assume that it idk why me saying cheaters were bad deserved gold but thanks for that and the silver kind strangers get too close to a child and you are automatically branded a pedophile I work as low tier manager in toy store and even though I have company t-shirt and name tag people still ask me if I work there people still look at me weird when I am going around the store doing whatever it's sometimes hard to ignore I just hope people will understand that working at my dream job doesn't mean I want to do stuff to their kids it hurts sometimes edit thanks so much for all the comments and my first silver if I don't answer immediately I am sorry but sleep calls and I got work tomorrow have a great day redditors I want to wish you all Merry Christmas and to someone who works in toy store piece of advice buy toys now give it a few weeks and everything popular will be gone much love I used to eat my lunch at a local lake that has a park next to it I would park facing the lake with the park behind me I just sat in my car listen to podcasts and ate my lunch one day a lady called the cops on me for being suspicious said she was afraid for her children's safety luckily the cop was cool until the lady I was free to eat there since it was a public place but I didn't really want to risk getting an article cop in the future so good bye calming Lake hallow depressing parking lot edit I appreciate the support I'm going to go ahead and start going again I shouldn't really have let one incident over several years of eating there determine it just made me really anxious we're all unable to control our nature to have six believe me if I couldn't control myself you have noticed by now I'm the oldest of three girls and my mom raised us by saying that all men only want six and they will do anything to get it even great children we are all deeply paranoid of men and hyper-vigilant parents and have really ducked up relationships and holy [ __ ] I'm having a revelation men are worst communicators and women really depends on the man and the woman the whole men think about six every seven seconds thing if you think that's true I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you is the bridge sexy though men can't be abused by woman or that men can get a assaulted harassed by other men I've had some very pushy gay men approached me one going as far as trying to touch my hasn't big dick inside my underwear after I said like three times that I'm straight and not interested luckily the women I was out with immediately chastised that guy but tbh guys laugh at me when I tell that story and talk about how badly they would have beaten him up women who I've told always reacted shocked and emphatic men can't show emotion in public unless it's anger or greed or lust lust is just pen15 greed not sure if it counts as a myth but most TV portrayal the guy's a dumb person depends on his wife for literally everything it's annoying and played-out I don't know anyone close to my age that lives like that quick at it I do know plenty of old people that do in fact live like those poor trails ordered before their respective divorces in some cases homer simpson was always a bit of an idiot but he also sacrificed everything for his family and worked hard to provide for them but now they just write him likely some worthless bum who does nothing and is a burden to everyone around him if any of the newer Simpsons writers are eating this duck you'd you suck I really hate how fruity drinks are associated with women like damn can I just enjoy my strawberry daiquiri I always order fruity frozen drinks and my wife always orders beers half the time the waiter gives me the beer instead nobody scoffs when a dude's got a kick-ass Slurpee but as soon as you had some run it's a girls drink duck off duck where to start I was a stay-at-home dad for two years the sheer volume of Carens at parks and playgrounds used to drive me up a wall they were always dumbfounded when I didn't need their help yes I can change a diaper probably faster than you can yes I have snacks celery carrots and a little ranch yes I have drinks water bottles and juicer boxes yes I have lunch chicken cutlet sandwiches no we didn't buy them at the deli I can actually cook no I don't need wine it's 10 a.m. Karen get a ducking grid no I'm not going to a strip club no that doesn't mean I'm gay edit it's always my minimum effort comments that get up voted law see also Hooters that place ducting sucks and the last two times I was dragged there I had beer spilled on me by the weight stuff because they hire based on flirting instead of the ability to actually serve ducking food that we are not afraid of walking alone through a dark car park at night after a great deal of asking everyone from police to self defense instructors to her green berry and a bunch of combat vets to the most cracked out gum nuts not met a single person who had no fear because having fear is healthy if you aren't afraid of anything you're just a ducking idiot with no real-world experience what distinguishes the people you mentioned is their ability to overcome fear and function decisively when they need to just because I have a big dig and you have a veg doesn't mean I'm trying to get in your pants I want friends just like anyone else but when I try to talk to people like my guy friends they assume I'm trying to date them no I just like asking my friends how they were because I hate people who only talk to you when they want something so I talked to everyone as a show of you are my friend not the services you offer this makes making friends as adults hard the worst is when they say I have a husband cool but I just want you as a friend daughter to single dad here there was this myth I discovered when I was young it's something almost all my female friends were told but thankfully not me the myth is the belief that there are such things as girl business where only your mom or other older females in the family should help you with as the only girl in the house growing up my dad helped me understand a deal with a great many girl business problems meanwhile all my friends had their moms to handle it for them when my friends found out my dad was sort of in charge of handling those with me they were shocked they asked me why I didn't have an aunt or grandma to help instead well my aunt's all live at least 10 hours away and grandma is even further I began to realize over the years that there might actually be negative side effects to this girl's only way of thinking sure having another female assist you with those issues might be less awkward and embarrassing but there's already an inherent awkwardness and embarrassment associated with it learning to overcome the embarrassment is part of growing up and accepting your body furthermore I have since grown up and began studying psychology and on some research into this further for my studies I'd have to do a more in-depth and wide-reaching survey and analysis to come to find ins I'd be comfortable with being peer-reviewed but I have a theory that the girls-only mentality causes relationship issues later in life young girls grow up thinking that there are some aspects of womanhood men not only don't understand but can't understand it makes them not only less trusting of male partners but also keeps them from seeing men as equals when it comes to parenting sure if you are a mom of a young girl there's no reason for you to not continue helping her with all the complex feminine issues she's going through just be careful not to make her think her dad doesn't empathize or understand - don't make him this distant third party who will never get it or someone who should not be involved because he has a pen 50 that's the same toxic female attitude that causes soccer moms to call the cops on a dad when he takes his daughter to the part to play men can parent - and they are surprisingly good at raising young girls on their own edit number one thank you to the guys who have sent PMS to say sags and to the few who asked for some advice I wish you the best of luck thanks for the girl edit number two thanks to everyone for the awards I am shocked at how big this has become since I posted it I will reply to all the award givers in time but I'm in my phone right now thank you again if a woman physically assault a man he somehow must have done something to deserve it this gets even worse in those case where male victims of domestic abuse are getting arrested in case the police gets called even though there are the victims and not the attacker I called the cops once on an abusive ex who had threatened to Hil herself as a way to manipulate me to stay with her when they arrived they treated me like I was a criminal if you expose us to radiation we gain superpowers in reality this has only happened a few times and most men would just die so you're saying there's a chance showing emotion is a weakness it isn't we have just as many emotions as women and our emotions are just as valid I just bottle mine up then have major breakdowns every six months I don't know if it's healthy but it's sufficient I am NOT a male myself but I hope it is okay for me to comment it really annoys me when people say that men cannot be great because if they got a hard-on they must have wanted it sheet like that causes men to not report grapes and makes them feel sheet about themselves anyone can be great no matter age six or if the rapist is married to them no means no it is as simple as that he was hard so it wasn't grape as easily matched with she was wet so it wasn't grape too many people have a serious lack of understanding for how the human body works real men don't have emotions yeah go to hell edit wow thanks for the golds and silvers and also the food for thought and the reactions quite an issue emo or that the only acceptable emotions are anger rage and mad there are plenty of fish in the sea just get over it duck you I like that fish even if it was kinda mean and cruel me having big feet only means that I wear big shoes and seriously what makes girls think they can just come up to you and ask about it if he's got big feet yes no ctc he better be packing because that's one funny-looking dude badly paraphrase Jeff Foxworthy if those three were true feet nose I'd be hung like a horse unfortunately I'm not men just wait around for a woman to inform them that they are now dating I'm not trying to claim that women come up to me in bars especially offer but on the rare times they do there is a definite sense of I am under no obligation to actually attract you as a mate I exist and am female and therefore by default you want to date me once when I tried to politely decline the woman chastised me in the bar for five minutes demanding to know what my excuse was what reason I could give her she simply assumed that the default was that I as a man want to date any woman and that I have to justify not being attracted to a specific one had a woman approached me in a bar the other night and about a minute into conversation Arlette I know very matter-of-fact that I needed to be somewhere so I wasn't hanging around she just stopped and said you don't fancy me I said sorry I've got to go crosses my mind now just how confused she looked [Music] you [Music]
